DSIAC staff contacted multiple government historical research agencies and nuclear departments to assist in collecting information on the subject. Related areas of interest included dual capable aircraft, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and the airborne launch control system (ALCS). Many historical efforts are not currently digitally available, so each one must be requested from a compiled catalog. The catalogs and contact information were delivered to the inquirer, along with a bibliography generated from a search of the DTIC R&E Gateway and open sources of relevant documents.
